About This Quote
A rich man who has everything he could ever want does not need to look for more. But people tend to look for more. They want more money, more success, and more things than they could ever imagine. The problem with this is that people do not tend to be satisfied.
They always want more and will never be happy. This quote also captures the notion that the peacock is happy with its feathers and its ugly feet.
